Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2213 Siege is not easy
In front of Liangzhou City, blood flowed like a river again.

Tuyuhun's soldiers kept fighting, while Xiliang's soldiers defended.

Neither side had the slightest intention of backing down, so they kept fighting, fighting non-stop.

There are more and more corpses under the city.

Tuyuhun has more soldiers than Xiliang, but in terms of combat effectiveness, it is indeed inferior to Xiliang's soldiers.

Coupled with the fact that Xiliang soldiers and horses occupy a very important terrain advantage and sophisticated weapons, their Datang Godly Crossbow is comparable to more than 1 archers, and how many archers are there in Tuyuhun?

The strength of the weapons made up for their lack of numbers.

So, the two sides fought like this for a day, and Tuyuhun's soldiers and horses failed to attack Liangzhou City.

Not only did they fail to break into Liangzhou City, they didn't even charge past the city.

As night falls, the cicadas sing.

Tuyuhun was unable to attack the city.

"General, it's already getting late. I'm afraid it's impossible for us to capture Liangzhou City. Why don't we retreat for now and wait until tomorrow to attack the city?"

"That's right, General, attacking the city at night is extremely unfavorable to us, and the soldiers are exhausted, why don't we retreat."

"........."

Everyone wanted to retreat, Xili glanced at the crowd, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said: "Our soldiers are a little bit unable to hold on, compared to the Xiliang soldiers in the city, they are more sleepy and tired than us. But if they retreat, they will be given a chance to rest. This opportunity must not be given to them. Tell the soldiers to continue to attack the city. No matter what, they must take down the city wall, and let those who have not attacked Soldiers, take this opportunity to rest and eat, and we will take turns attacking the city like this, without even giving the Xiliang soldiers any rest time, let me see how they can defend Liangzhou City."

Xili is a person who is very good at using troops in Tuyuhun. He quickly considered the matter of rest. They have a large number of people and can attack the city with wheels. In this way, those who do not need to attack the city will actually have time to rest.

And when they attacked the city like this, the Xiliang soldiers and horses on the towers really had no time to rest. This was very beneficial to them, and this was their advantage.

If they want to capture Liangzhou City, they must be good at using their own advantages.

Only in this way can they capture Liangzhou City better.

After Xili finished speaking, although the others were exhausted, they all felt that what Xili said made sense, so without any hesitation, everyone began to attack the city again.

The night was getting darker, and Tuyuhun's troops were still attacking the city.

On the city tower, those Xiliang soldiers and horses were seldom tired, but Tuyuhun had no intention of retreating.

"Master Ma, are these Tuyuhun crazy? It's already so late, and they still want to continue attacking the city?"

"Master Ma, if we let them continue to attack like this, we may not be able to bear it tomorrow. Our soldiers have no time to rest, and the city will be destroyed sooner or later."

"Master Ma, what should we do in this situation?"

Everyone turned their attention to Ma Zhou, Ma Zhou frowned, he naturally knew what Tuyuhun was thinking, Tuyuhun was just trying to drain the energy of their Xiliang soldiers and horses.

Once their Xiliang soldiers lost their energy, they would not be far from losing Liangzhou City.

However, Tuyuhun wanted to take advantage of this situation to consume their energy, so he really didn't take them seriously.

After thinking for a moment, Ma Zhou immediately ordered: "Find someone to ride a hot air balloon and set fire to the Tuyuhun military camp below. They want to rest, but it's not that easy."

"promise!"

After the soldiers took orders, some people flew into the night sky in a hot air balloon, and after they flew into the night sky, they shot rockets at the barracks behind Tuyuhun.

Rockets flew one after another, and soon, behind the Tuyuhun barracks, a raging fire ignited. Many Tuyuhun soldiers were resting, but when a heat wave hit, they were swallowed up by the fire.

More people rushed out, they were a little flustered, they thought they had lost Tuyuhun, many people didn't understand what happened at all, and then began to retreat in a hurry, wanting to escape for their lives.

They kept running and shouting.

The entire Tuyuhun camp looked chaotic at once.

Siri is still here directing the soldiers to attack the city. He is already very tired, because he has not closed his eyes since he came here this morning.

The following situation came soon. After he found out, his eyes were serious, and he shouted: "What happened?"

The fire was soaring into the sky, he was very surprised, how could there be fire in his barracks?
"General, something is wrong, something is wrong."

"what's going on?"

"Xiliang...Xiliang soldiers and horses burned the barracks behind us with hot air balloons. Those resting soldiers thought we were defeated, and now they are fleeing. It's messed up, messed up, this... what should we do?"

Hearing that the camp was in chaos, Siri immediately became a little nervous. If the camp is in chaos, how can we attack the city?
They had already been taught a lesson by Qin Tian with a hot air balloon before, but this time, they were taught a lesson by a hot air balloon again.

"Damn it, Xiliang soldiers and horses are really hateful, so hateful..." Siri couldn't help scolding, but after scolding like this, he still had to calm down slowly and think about what to do.

If his camp wasn't chaotic, he would naturally be able to fight like this with Xiliang soldiers and horses, but now that Tuyuhun's camp is in chaos, it might not be easy for him to continue messing with Xiliang soldiers and horses.

After thinking for a while, Siri quickly made a decision.

"Retreat, temporarily retreat."

They can only retreat and attack the city after recovery.

Tuyuhun called Jin to withdraw his troops, the moonlight tonight turned out to be surprisingly good.

Soon, the outside of Liangzhou City became quiet, but the smell of blood lingered for a long time.

Ma Zhou breathed a sigh of relief seeing Tuyuhun's troops retreating.

As long as Tuyuhun retreated, they would have more or less hope of being able to defend Liangzhou City, or wait for reinforcements. For them, if they could hold on for a moment, they would have a moment of hope.

Of course, he also knew that although Tuyuhun had retreated, if he wanted them to stop here, he might not be able to, and he had to think of a way.

"Come on, after the soldiers and horses of Tuyuhun retreat to the barracks to rest, let our hot air team go and burn their barracks again. I want them to have no rest, let them suffer heavy losses, and make them dare not use troops against me in Xiliang easily. "

The hot air balloon has already been dispatched once, so Tuyuhun will definitely not feel that they will attack again. If so, Tuyuhun will relax his vigilance, thus giving them Xiliang a chance.

After Ma Zhou gave the order to go down, someone was ordered to retreat immediately, only waiting for Tuyuhun's soldiers and horses to rest.
